NABC Chapter 188 Sasori of the Red Sand
Chapter 188 Sasori of the Red Sand
Neji used his Byakugan's X-ray vision to quickly pinpoint the exact locations of the other four forbidden characters.
He then quickly relayed this location information to the members of the third squad.
After receiving Neji's guidance, Team 3 immediately sprang into action. They quickly moved to their designated positions, preparing to carry out the next step in breaking the barrier. Their tacit understanding and teamwork were evident at this moment.
As the five forbidden talismans of the five-seal barrier were simultaneously torn off by Team 3, Boruto quickly formed hand seals.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
Immediately afterwards, a powerful burst of Wind Release chakra erupted from Boruto's body, forming a fierce gale that swept across the entire area, collapsing a giant rock tens of meters high in front of him.
Fragments of the boulder flew everywhere, and with the help of the strong wind, Naruto and his friends swarmed forward and broke through the obstacles set up by the Akatsuki.
However, on the other side, after Kai's Team 3 successfully tore off the talisman and broke the five-seal barrier, they did not expect that the Akatsuki had set up a second trap within the barrier. The area where they were located began to bulge, transforming into a humanoid shape.
This trap, called the Mirror Striker Technique, creates a replica of the Rune Tearer with the same appearance and abilities, and these replicas immediately attack the original Rune Tearer.
This sudden turn of events caught the Third Class off guard, forcing them to fight enemies who were exactly like themselves. These clones not only looked identical, but their fighting style and skills were also identical to the original Rune Tearer.
......
After Boruto and his friends entered the cave, they were deeply shocked by the sight before them.
"What...what kind of monster is this...?"
Sakura murmured to herself, her voice trembling slightly.
Inside the cave, a huge, bizarre humanoid monster stood before them. Its twisted shape and enormous body occupied most of the cave's space, creating a sense of oppression.
The Outer Path Golem is exceptionally ugly, with a body as withered as a dead tree and a dull, lifeless color. The most striking feature of this monster is its nine eyes, and ten pillar-like objects protrude from its back.
At this moment, Pain's illusory form had not yet left, standing on the giant finger of the Gedo Mazo, his gaze coldly sweeping over Boruto and the others, his voice revealing sarcasm.
"You came quite quickly, but it's already too late."
Pain continued, "Then... enjoy this feast to the fullest." After saying this, Pain formed hand seals to release the Gedo Mazo from its summoning and severed the connection to the Illusionary Body Technique, disappearing into thin air and leaving Boruto and the others to face Deidara and Sasori.
As Payne departed, the colossal Gedo Mazo transformed into a wisp of smoke and slowly dissipated from their sight.
But in that instant, Pain didn't notice that before the Gedo Mazo completely disappeared, its nine eyes suddenly turned sharply, and its cold pupils focused at the last moment, finally locking onto Boruto.
Although this scene was fleeting, Boruto still noticed the gaze of the Gedo Mazo.
Immediately after the Gedo Mazo disappeared, they saw Gaara lying on the cold ground, with Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, having been extracted from his body.
Deidara sat atop Gaara's cold corpse, a cruel smile playing on his lips. His gaze swept over the intruders before him, and his voice held a defiant tone: "So... which one of you is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki...?"
However, before Deidara could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a violent impact on his chest, and a tremendous force sent him flying backward like an arrow.
He lost control of his body and crashed heavily into the rock wall behind him. The powerful impact created a clear human-shaped hole in the rock wall, embedding his body directly into it.
Boruto stood there, staring coldly at Deidara: "You bastard, don't push your luck."
Sasori witnessed Boruto suddenly appear next to Deidara and knock him away. Without hesitation, he immediately launched a counterattack, unleashing Hiruko: Back Tail Sting.
Sasori's steel stinger, hidden beneath Akatsuki's robes, rapidly extended and attacked Boruto. This stinger was not only incredibly sharp but also coated with potent venom; a mere scratch would be enough to poison Boruto.
When Boruto was attacked by Sasori of the Red Sand, he immediately concentrated his chakra and attached it to his palm. Then he grabbed the joint of Sasori's steel scorpion tail.
Boruto clenched his fist and squeezed hard, crushing Sasori's originally incredibly hard steel tail in his hand.
Sasori, faced with Boruto's astonishing power, couldn't help but show a shocked expression, muttering to himself, "How is this possible... You actually..."
Despite his surprise, Sasori's fighting instincts did not diminish. After a brief pause, he wrapped his severed tail around Boruto's hand.
After being knocked away by Boruto and embedded in the rock wall, Deidara struggled to crawl out of the crater. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes flashing with anger, and muttered under his breath, "Bastard..."
Deidara then looked towards Boruto's location, formed hand seals, and shouted.
"drink!"
As Deidara activated his technique, the clay birds surrounding Boruto suddenly emitted a dazzling light, followed by a deafening explosion.
The shockwave from the explosion spread outwards, but Boruto had already broken free from Sasori's scorpion tail, picked up Gaara from the ground, and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport away, avoiding the direct damage from the explosion.
When Boruto reappeared, he had already returned to Naruto and Sakura's side. He gently put Gaara down from his hands to make sure he was safe and sound.
Naruto witnessed Gaara's tragic state of losing his breath, and his anger erupted like a volcano, becoming uncontrollable. His eyes gradually turned bloodshot, and his rage reached its peak.
Naruto roared at the two men in front of him, "You bastards! I'll tear you to pieces!" At this moment, Naruto was ready to fight to the end, determined to avenge Gaara. No matter who his opponent was, he would go all out and disregard the consequences.
Boruto said, "Take Gaara out of here first, I'll take care of things here."
